In today’s market driven economy, the increasingly informed consumer is demanding more from businesses than simply addressing the bottom line; corporate responsibility is increasingly becoming an expected part of doing cutting edge-business.

In growing numbers, socially conscious businesses are taking responsibility for the preservation of the world’s environment, and are putting this understanding into action.

The Markets Initiative applauds the following Canadian companies who have joined this project since its inception in 1999.

As a coalition project of three major Canadian environmental organizations, the Markets Initiative is dedicated to building the public awareness around the significance of their commitments.
